• 0:07
  Speaker 3: There, we've all experienced this, but we've never really known
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: how you handle a situation like this because also now
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: these days, you can't just be telling people what what
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: they should or shouldn't be doing at work.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Right, thirty years.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Ago, your boss could literally make a call and that's
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the call.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But now we have rights.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Right, So imagine Jonathan, our lovely CEO, doesn't like the
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: colonial way, Frankie.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: God, and then if he's now he's going to tell.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Me, Yeah, imagine it is Jonathan allowed to say, Frankie.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a little scared of him, so anything that he
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: says I'd listened to I'd probably change immediately. You say

  Speaker 3: makes sense. Your boss is allowed to tell you that
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you smell right, Yeah, it's definitely a bo Why must
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: be sitting with the odor?

  Speaker 7: Yeah, we do. Unfortunately we have to go to the
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: HR procedure, which is not very pleasant.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Wild as well.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Now you get fired and then your your wife finds
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: you at home during the.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Day and she's like, what happened?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I got fired for for doing what?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Johnny Depp got you fired?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Divide. This is the reason I'm here.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I work in a laboratory, right, which comes with its
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: own smells and all of that. But there is this one, lady,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: my word, it literally knocks the inside of my brain.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: So uppendle today I cannot stand a red door perfume.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yo, the tennis used to abuse that thing. Back in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the day. There was a guy at my work. He
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: smells so bad, and sometimes I just want to say, hey,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: let's play a game. Let's all put an under dreads.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Tell you what I'm gonna spend the office chair, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: whoever it lands next to you, you must put on
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: perfume or you must put on row and.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You just take the changes. Singing at him, I had
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a unip lance, good morning, good morning, guys, are you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: how are you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: Thank you?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So you used to look at the.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: Guy I used to work at a There was a
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: guy who used to switch like shake easy, and he
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: had canisters of ex bodies spray at his desk and
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: he would use those and the smells would like combine
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: and make this over day. And yeah, we started complaining.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: We spoke to about but said, no, guys, you can't
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: tell him that. So we took it upon ourselves to
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: start a rumor the office. Eventually it got to him
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: and he was very embarrassed and he made a change.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, but this is the problem. This is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: why I say you can tell him, but take him,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: take the person aside, and then directly tell him don't
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: be around the busher.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, buddy, buddy, this is the case.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: Like love, you love everything about it. So we also
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: don't want to get in trouble.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But now rumors even worse. That's why he gets embarrassed.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Here's an idea, and maybe Johanna's boog you can wait
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in quickly on the voice not zero.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Eight four double zero double zero nine four seven.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Why do you guys have friends at work or your
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: work husband or your work wife, That person that you're
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: close to at work, that person should be allowed to
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: tell you things like that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So what I would do in the in the policy at.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: The bringing of their black guys, if ever we have
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a sensitive issue that to discuss with you, we are
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: going to deploy your friend to do it in their
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: own time, in your own manner. Maybe when you guys
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: are having prints on a Friday. I really think we
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: a hundred people can't stuffer because of being polite.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: No, yeah, that's true. That's a very good idea.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Man. You know what the thing is for me? And
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: this is the question, Ayanda, Like you guys started this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: rumor because you didn't want to tell him directly because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the boss said you weren't allowed to. But if there
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was something in his teeth, would you say something?
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: I would say something, you see, because well, we had
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: a law for them, So you're going to be talking
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: to client.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Usually if I had half a spinach hanging out
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: my mouth, I'd like someone to tell me that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, hey, spinach and fetter, you're missing the
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: fettereth nicer.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: You finish on your teat is not as personal as
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: your body. Odor.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't, don't tell me and mature.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Okay this lawyer, don't tell.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Me, and be wise. This is not the wise part
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the show that happens after seven o'clock. Thanks, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: my time. I wrap it up for us quickly. What
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: do you say.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: If a person would tell me that, Hi, guys, sorry,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: if a person would tell me that I smell, I
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: would take them to HR. But I can tell you
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: now I'm the person that if there's any person that
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: either uses too much perfume or they've got too much
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: older that is unpleasant. I would stand up and address
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: everyone and say, yo, guys, stop doing one, two, three,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: and four and five. In that way, I did not
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: address a person, so no one can.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Take me to HR.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: I've made it no, but I've made it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Known that Okay, this is the situation. Please add dressed.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: And people normally do address issues.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: That I raise. Someone in here is wearing too much perfuse.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's wearing too much perfume.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Everyone turns left to one person.
• 10:11

• 10:15
